  1. They are not named, really.

    one other ship is mentioned by name: Andrew (act I, scene 1, line 27) but it is not Antonio’s

    other words for ships:

    argosies (act I, scene 1, line 9)

    vessel (act I, scene 1, line 32)

    Shylock mentions Antonio’s ships (Act I, scene 3, line 16ff):

    an argosy bound to Tripolis, another to the Indies, ... a third at Mexico, a fourth for England and other ventures ... abroad.

    However, as far as I remember, they are never called by any name, we only learn later that they have all come safely to port.
